Not Down In the Bills.

At Clinton, Iowa, on Wednesday
last during the performance Of the
Wild West Show with the Sells Bros.
circus, one of the guards on the coach
became possessed of a revolver loaded
with bullets which he used indiserim-
inately, resulting in the shooting OF
three of the spectators and one of the
pursuing Indians. The spectators
shot were Geo Harrington, aged IL,
shot IN the forehead and will die.
Mrs. w. A. Roberts shot In the left
breast above the heart and dangerously
wounded; Wallace Phillips, aged l6,
shot In the tor of the head and seri-
ously though not fatally wounded.
No cause is assigned for the use OF
bullets, except that the guard got hold
of the wrong gun. 1t looks like very
criminal carlesness on the part Of the
manager to permit anyone connected
with the show to have such thing a.
Q bullet cartridge In their possession.
II will probably cost Sells Bros. all
they can make this season to settle the
matter.

on Tuesday called IN all the owners

the only way in which they could be

WASHINGTON. July.-The army re-
firing board, Of which Quartermaster
General Holabird is president, has
recommended the retirement Of Capt.

Stimson created a scandal in Arizona

proved the findings Of the court, and
ordered the officers restoration to du-

insane asylum for treatment. He will
probably be retired % soon a. va

Notes from Muddy.

MUDDY, ID. T., June l3, 1887.
Editor YELLOWSTONE Journal:
We are now fairly over the excite.
ment due 10 the celebration of the
Fourth, our first celebration, although
the usual form Of reading the Declare.
ton, speeches. etc., was omitted. Two
well contested games of base ball and
agrand display of fireworks took their
place. On the evening before the
Fourth we had q fine serenade by
our band of about twenty-five pieces,
with anvil accompaniment.
One gentleman Of an inquiring turn
of mind and wishing to celebrate on
his own account, placed about pound
of gunpowder in jug and set fire to
the fuse, and to hasten the explosion
thought he would hasten the burning
Of the fuse by blowing on it; he blew
down and the powder blew up. At
present he has a very muddy looking
optic, and his face reminds one Of q
photograph of the moon, with its ele-
vations and depression, seams and
craters. They say that he has con-
cluded to hereafter confine himself
strictly to scientific investigation
which does not include the explosion
of gunpowder.
Within the last few days lumber
and piles have been unloaded for the
round house and other buildings. The
depot Is nearly finished and the sur
veyors are at work on the side tracks.
Business, / must confess, Is dull,
and We are now experiencing, as most
other towns, a general depression, bu,
trust to the future for better times.
This is not the place for any more car.
penters, as there are too many here
now for the work on hand. The
buildings Of Pontet, Metzki, Gales and
Others are now nearly finished and
present a neat appearance. The
weather has been very fine, with an
occasional shower, just enough for the
crops.

Of Intsrsst I. Election otsicsrs.

We are sure It will be of great interest to
all election officers to know that on the 10th
day Of May last, Governor Beaver approved
an act of the Legislature which provides
that II any election officer or assessor Of
poll taxes shall become intoxicated during
the time he is engaged in the discharge OF
his official duties, he shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and If convicted, shall be
sentenced to undergo an imprisonment Of
thirty days and pay fine of twenty dollars
and the costs of prosecution, or both, or
either, at the discretion of the court The
same act prohibits the holding of public
elections in any room, any part Of which is
used for the sale of liquors, II it be possible
to secure another room in the vicinity. The
Court of Quarter Sessions or any law judge,
upon the petition of five citizens, shall look
after this little matter.

A Fact to b. Borne in Mind.

Some persons think that the sign board.
forbldding hunting, fishing, nut-gatherine
or trespassing upon private lands are oi
little account and that they may be re.
garded with lmpunlty. This Is mistake
as the law makes 1t an act Of trespass to &c
upon any cultivated or enclosed land fol
any purpose without permission from the
owner, even II there is no sign board, and
the owner is entitled to recover actual dam.
ages for such trespass. When the sign
boards are properly erected, any person who
trespasses upon land so guarded is not only
liable to pay the actual damages, but also
penalty not exceeding $25. If, however
the landowner wishes to avail himself oI
the provisions Of the law he must comply
with its requirements. There must be al
least one sign, not less than foot square,
to every fifty acres of land, upon the lot
lines, upon the shores OF banks of the lake
steam or pond which it Is intended to pro
tect. Any person who defaces, Injuries OF
destroys such sign board is guilty
of a misdemeanor and liable to a penalty
of S25.

Original Cheap cash Store
A GREAT CHANGE.

Those who contrast the condition Of the
United States In 1870 with that of 1881,
see a wonderful difference. Then all was
paper; now all Is coin. Then all was infa-
tion; now all Is hard dan. Then all was
boom; now all Is business. So those who
contrast the condition of the mercantile
business in Lehighton previous to 1876
with that from 1876 up to the present date,
see a wonderful difference. Then high
prices reigned; now low prices rule. Then
there were only a meagre stocks to purchase
from; now there is large and magnificent
one from which to select. Then King Cred
Il held full sway; now cash Is the power Of
the day. Then through the credit system,
customers were dependent; now, through
the cash system, they are Independent.
The present condition has been brought
about by us. In 1876 we flung open the
doors of our store, which contained a tire.
mendous stock at prices that astonished
everyone. And ever since we haYe been
cutting prices and increasing stocks to such
an extent, that now goods can be purchased
from large assortment at prices as low,
and in some instances lower, than in the
cities. We are truly the Champions o.

"A source of considerable speculation
and conjecture by sewing machine men in
general is; Why is it that the canvasser
selling New Davis Machines can go out and
sell FIVE to seven and even more machines
per week, while the canvasser for other
machines considers himself doing well when
he accomplishes the sale of two three mac
hines per week2 This is very easily an
swered. It is not because the Dayis is sold
lower than any other, for the price is from
five TO ten dollars higher than that of any
other machine in the market; but It is be-
cause IL possesses many advantages over
any other, prominent among them being
the vertical feed, an improvement which in
point OF superiority no other machine can
approach. By the feed improvement all
kinds of sewing, even the most difficult
trimming, is made in the most perfect man
ner without the necessity of eyer basting
Its attachments are so simple, many of
them working automatically, that any lady
possessing even but a slight knowledge of
running a Machine, can execute every
variety of household sewing upon the DAVIS
with an ease and rapidity impossible with
any other machine.
